what are some non-emulator PC games I can play on a long flight that I can play offline, can be played mainly with a keyboard (no mouse or gamepad), and will kill the time?
Thinking of shit like Civ but want to know what else there is.

Roguelikes ( Cataclysm DDA, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup)
TBS (XCom, jagged alliance, xenonauts)
what are you gonna plug your laptop into? Airplanes give out 70ish volts, and you need 120. 110 at the very least. Not sure about amperage, but as soon as you plug it in, it trips and resets the outlet.
add to this, if you're planning on using the battery, even the most efficent laptops will still only give out a maximum of 2 hours of gametime, even with toaster tier games like doom. And if your flight is under 2 hours, just put something on your phone.
Yeah, zero PC games fit that description huh........
use your phone and play emulators
Binding of Isaac
Spelunky
Hollow Knight
It's 11 hours. And I'm fine with 2 or 3 hours (or zero, it's not that important) as even that will take out a chunk of time.
You could probably get through Shantae and the Pirate's Curse or Half Genie Hero if its a long enough flight.
I wouldn't really play 5/6th of these with only a keyboard and laptop trackpad.
you never heard of extra batteries?
Touhou
The original PC version of resident evil 4 (not the HD version) was criticized for not using the mouse at all but I think it could be useful here
Get a controller and boom u can play whatever you want
Spelunky
Want to keep the visual autism to under 70%. Then again who gives a shit I guess.
PROTIP:
>Download key manager
>Map your mouse 1 and 2 buttons to keys low on your keyboard
>Play FPS games and other mouse games with trackpad
I have buttons above my trackpad it's just a terrible experience playing something like an FPS with one.
That's why I used Civ as an example, since it requires pointer movement but it's tolerable enough on a trackpad.
Nobody gives a shit, guarantee you'll see a guy bingbing wahooing somewhere else in the plane
I'd try it even if you do, having your thumb on the trackpad and your fingers on keys they naturally fall on works better for laptop games than I thought it would
>tfw no airline has a LAN feature
>not just using in flight messaging and messaging random people around the plane
I think some flights have really simple games that are multiplayer with other passengers.
I've only seen that once on an ANA flight and seemed totally pointless. People have to opt in anyway so I don't think you can just message randoms.
This, but unironcally
Touhou 15 might be the best one since checkpoints will make distractions a lot more forgiving
>And wifi costs a retarded amount and is slow as shit
Baba is You
Emulate Pokemon because emulation is great
seconding Stardew Valley
Why no emulator games OP?
I've run a Dell XPS 9560 (7700HQ, GTX 1050, 4K) at full blast on United's 787s and 777s. The 130W power adapter was completely fine and my battery stayed charged the entire time. I think I had to unplug and re-plug once on the 777.
play some old fps games. the ones before mouse aim was the common thing.
Because that's obvious and I already have some so was wondering about PC specifically.
Anyway even if I was asking about emulators that would be a stupidly broad question. "What games from any generation should I play"
Just read a book like a normal person bro.
Is that cunt using someone else's tray as a mouse pad? He needs a good slap.
Just buy a switch

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
